I recently tried installing Kaspersky antivirus 2011 on my XP (service pack 2) . Everytime I try to install through setup file, it initiates and then I get a pop up message saying Windows XP not compatible ( Sorry could no get the complete error message ) there is also options which come up saying "continue anyway" but it wont allow to click as the system gets hung .

I also tried to skip from incompatible software by following the instructions on Kaspersky's website by creating a short cut to setup file and modifying the target field in it but still I get the same message.

It also asks me to reboot before I install but it is still the same .

Does this mean that I wont be able to install this antivirus software on my machine ? I also wrote to the Kaspersky support but seems they will take ages to reply.

Also, you might serious consider using MSE. If you're running XP Professional SP2, it would help to upgrade to SP3, otherwise, why even bother using anti-virus? You're system is vulnerable enough being out of date.
